    I am into the smoothie wheels for one big reason...
    I can drive 200 miles to a show, pull in, give 'em a quick swipe with my trusty DWG, and go wander off for some fun.
    The billet gang would be slaving away while I am enjoying a cool one...

    The car is just right as is.
    Appreciate that you caught "The Look" first time around.

    Sometimes it's easy to overdo a car and it starts looking overly busy.

    Leave the Stude alone and start a new project.
    That way, you have one to enjoy and one to dream about....

    Thanks everyone for the ideas and the art work even the wagon wheels and rubber bands! This has all given me some ideas to think about. One other thought I had was to stay with the whites and smoothies, but kick it up to 17s instead of the 14s-15s I have now. I am not one to make changes quickly so I will take my time. Might just leave it alone like several have suggested.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    Try the Dayton wire rims, red with gold spokes, might be the look.

    Deep, what size wheel and tire combo do you have on your truck front and back?

    I like the idea of painted steelies or a set of Salt Flats. It all depends on what kind of image you want it to put forth.

    I think Pat has probably found what he wants by now since this thread is from 2007, however that is one nice looking yellow truck with one nice lookin pretty young lady in front of it, and Pat the studebakers looks great as is!
    Dave is right too, never can have too much red!
